Joker Casting Threads [merged-30]

[I AM THE NIGHT]

The new films need to set a new standard and be total opposites of anything gone before.
I disagree. I think the new movies should do new things, but not nessicarily be complete oppisites of the past films,especialy on the things they did right.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Well for me Crispin Glover has the creepy look...but I just don't like his voice for the part and when I look at him I just don't see the Joker in him. Lachy Hulme...I just have a feeling about him.

[P. Cushing]

So I really don't think what roles actors have taken on in life should prevent them from doing other roles, unless of course they can't act,
Exactly! That's what I've been trying to tell everyone here for years!

[The Techno Bat]

If anyone was born to play the Joker, it has to be Adrian Brody. He needs to bulk up a bit, so he can be a physical challenge to Bale but otherwise, he has the acting ability and the face. This guy can challenge Bale's acting chops, as well. Glover is a loose cannon. I don't trust him and he's very one note. Adrian Brody is the way to go.

Attikus

Hmmm Adrian Brody is a great choice. I really wanted him to play the role of The Scarecrow. But I am going to stick with Crispin Glover.

Exactly! That's what I've been trying to tell everyone here for years!

And I will take up that cause with you....

because look at Micheal Keaton when he first got the role of Batman people freaked out and said NO, not Mr. Mom, but he proved us all wrong, and now today people still refer to him as the greatest Batman of all time.

another example is Keenu Reeves he went from surfer dude to Neo to John Constantine.

Proving that acting is acting and any good or great actor can step up there game if they really want too

Theres Joker for me...minus the stache.

[Two-Face]

Dafoe please.


WOW! Green Goblin is Joker, many will be confused. :rolleyes:

One other thing I don't know if you read that WB are looking for young Joker not old Joker. :) :batman:


P.S Don't get me wrong Willem Dafeo is great actor like I said he's too old.

[The Last Meatbag]

Dennis Leary would be good and hes not that old

Yes he's old, his going over to 50s in couple years.


WB looking for to match Bale's Batman like Joker 30s slightly talller then Bale.

[The Last Meatbag]

wowza.................he'd still be a good joker

[Two-Face]

wowza.................he'd still be a good joker


maybe if he was cast as Joker Back in Batman 89

[P. Cushing]

wowza.................he'd still be a good joker
You got that right.

I had never really been convinced that Glover could play the Joker until this image, he has the evil stare down to a tee!

[uzazil]

how about seann william scott u know stiffler from the american pie movie he has the perfect face for the joker

[Obsidian]

I'd like to throw another name into the mix. He's a great Irish actor who's relatively unknown in the states: Liam Cunningham (A Little Princess).

[P. Cushing]

Michael Wincott

[RedIsNotBlue]

Michael Wincott has a great look and physique but his voice just ruins it.

[super scar]

Have you ever heard him as Mr Sanjay(?) in Along came a Spider. He played a kidnapper disguised as an English teacher and his voice was unrecogniseable. He's been my personal fave to play The Joker for a while now and could more than likely give Bale a run for his money in a fight scene.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Nah haven't seen that movie. Every movie I have seen him in he sounds like he has throat cancer.

[General_Grievous]

I havent actually seen any film with him in it.

[super scar]

He also played Top Dollar in The Crow. But take into consideration Bale has an English accent and with the help of a voice coach, who knows?

[General_Grievous]

I think that Bale does a convincing American accent, and what do you think about his performance in The Machinist?

I haven't seen it, but it looks interesting, and he lost all that weight for the role. Shows a lot of commitment from him.

[Caliber]

Denis Leary for Joker.

He looks like a cross between Jason Isaacs and Tom Sizemore!

[Two-Face]

Leary is old too for Joker.

You people need cast younger Joker.

[P. Cushing]

Christian Bale.

[Captain_Obvious]

He looks like a cross between Jason Isaacs and Tom Sizemore!

he doesn't he :eek:

those Jason Isaacs is far more attractive ;)

nice avvy btw, Oldman

[Detective Flass]

Batman 2

Starring: Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, and Barry Dowden.

Bale's already Batman.

[P. Cushing]

nice avvy btw, Oldman
Thank you.

[Johnny DC]

There shouldn't be a Joker in BB2. Save him for the third film.

[Batty for Bats!]

Joker could have been the long lost identical twin brother to Bruce Wayne that was put up for adoption after his parents died and alfred already had enough troble with young master bruce............
speaking outta my @$$ here ofcourse, but you can't deny that if Bale wasn't cast as Bats,...he would have prolly pulled off ANY villian.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Joker WILL be in BB2.

Actually......I think it'd be kinda hard for Bale to pull off the Penguin.....


...or Catwoman for that matter, hehe.

[Philly Phanboy]

Most of those guy mentioned are way too old. I'd want somebody around Bale's age that could really act. My pick: Damian Lewis. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0507073/

http://www.staciwilson.com/Dreamcatcher/Damian_Lewis_a.jpg
He has the look and since he's British, it's in his favor (since Nolan has picked British people for a few of the big roles) and he sure can act (I LOVED him in Band of Brothers), but I'm not sure he'd be able to play the kind of character Joker is. I didn't see him in Dreamcatchers. If he has the acting chops to do it, I'd definitely love to see him as Joker.

He sure DOES look sadistic in this shot though...hehe
http://kultur.orf.at/030411-11303/2-lewis.jpg

[fear&loathing]

No no no, you've all got it wrong. Nolan should cast none other than Keanu Reeves for the role......



























[hiccup]

[General_Grievous]

I agree. Plus I think he really needs to be in the film. The best Batman villain shouldn't be held off.

[RedIsNotBlue]

You think there is any chance for Joker and Scarecrow sequel?

[Mike_D]

Joker is like the Lex Luthor of the Batman franchise, you gotta have the guy around. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Hes Batman's arch nemisis, not a one-hit villain.

-Mike

P.S.

I'm working on that manip for ya Techno Bat :)

[General_Grievous]

I wouldn't like Scarecrow back again, unless he was given a worthy story and wasn't just a lackey. But the Joker really needs the film to himself for his story to be told properly.

[RedIsNotBlue]

I don't know about a WHOLE film to himself. At least a tiny encounter with another villain. Maybe an opening where he takes out Zsasz.

[General_Grievous]

Yeah, well thats what I was implying!

But he is such a BIG character that he deserves lots of room in a movie.

[Mike_D]

Crispin...Glover..dammit.

-Mike

[General_Grievous]

The first manip is definitely the best. The evil stare is perfect, but is he perhaps too old at 41 for a Year One-ish Joker? He could perhaps pull it off with good make-up techniques.

[Mike_D]

Jack Nicholson played the Joker when he was in his 40s didnt he?? I mean, there are older actors who play younger roles ALL the time.

-Mike

[RedIsNotBlue]

If they cast Joker he is going to be in Bale's age range.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Jack Nicholson played the Joker when he was in his 40s didnt he?? I mean, there are older actors who play younger roles ALL the time.

-Mike

Nicholson was 52 and Keaton was 38. I don't want that age difference this time around.

Anymore? He is my pick for Joker and I haven't even seen him manipped yet.

I havent seen any good photos of Lachy Hulme yet, otherwise I would manip him. Is he the guy with no neck when he laughs??

Oh, I manipped this guy too, I dont know his name but somebody posted his pic in this thread somewhere:

--dk7:wolverine :daredevil these new emoticons are SIC, they need a new Joker:joker:

[darknight7]

Since this is THE OFFICIAL JOKER THREAD!!! I have a question, cause it's not all about MANIPS and CASTING, if it is STRICTLY JOKER, it could be anything JOKER!! so i have a question?

If Joker and Green Goblin fought,... (not hand to hand) with like there bombs and gas, and stuff... Do you guys think Joker would stand a chance? Just becaus he is insane, and enjoys killing people? And he gives Batman a good go, so do you think he could give GG a run for his money?

PLUS i got some sic pics of joker coming:joker:

[Infinity9999x]

I kno this is never going to happen but I always have to say this at the Joker threads....
HAMMIL DAMMIT!!!!!
ok i'm done

[DOO BEE]

HAMMIL no way, you need a serious dark actor, i wouldn't mind Sean Penn but he might be way too serious for this role, like he could pull the gangster mean baddie, but the look of white face, well maybe can some one try and make a image but make it well, i wouldn't mind seeing a computer graphic artist POV

[General_Grievous]

HAHAHA GREATEST RESPONSE OF ALL TIME:)


Ha, thank you. Plus I think personally that Hamill physically couldn't play the Joker even though his voice is brilliant.

I think Hamil could play dark and serious, he was a more evil joker in TMOTP. They had to have him play a more kid friendly joker cuz the cartoon was geared at kids. Though Sean Penn could prb do it too, he's a brilliant actor.

Ha, thank you. Plus I think personally that Hamill physically couldn't play the Joker even though his voice is brilliant.

ya thats what I was thinkin, but w/ the makeup they could prb make his face look alright, though he's too old to be physically up to par in any of the new series of movies. I think his only chance will be if they make a DKR movie, and to that we can only hope.:joker:

[DOO BEE]

yeah i would love to see sean penn play him but make-up and physical work may be a bit too much for. he could do the seriousness of the new films justice, but with nolans look he can be dark like look at mystic river he was great as a dark character, he was amazing in that film! but he is a bit up tight and might not want to be smiling for an entire film. i'll try to make a picture of sean as the joker but maybe i'll leave it to professional fan boys, well sean penn is my choice, better then leo and that guy from willard at least.

[P. Cushing]

......how big is keaton? did we all moan about his height.....?
Well, yes, a lot of people did and some still do. Keaton's height is only a non-issue if you are as impressed as much as I am with is performance. I really wish they could've transplanted his eyes and brain into the body of someone like Mel Gibson. Then he would've been perfect.

I agree as well that Damian Lewis will be great as Joker.

I'll agree he could make a pretty good Joker. I loved his character and how he portrayed him in Dreamcatcher -- Mr. Gray was my favorite character of the whole movie.

[Ceb-Man]

I want an unknown as the Joker. Lachley Hulme or Crispin Glover are not big names. A big name will overshadow Batman, which was done in the last 4 movies.
As far as the Joker's character, I want him dark, funny but not nothing the audience would laugh at or with. A serial killer with no remorse like Hannibal Lecter. THAT DANGEROUS!!!
Something that Batman must use his detective skills to track!

The Ceb-Man!

[General_Grievous]

I agree whole heartedly.

What did you make of Nicholsons performance though? Considering he is such a big name, I think he did a great job.

[Swordmaster]

[Dark Phantom]

I agree whole heartedly.

What did you make of Nicholsons performance though? Considering he is such a big name, I think he did a great job.

I loved Nicholsons performance. He brought what the Joker really is...a maniacal, cunning, comedian killing someone just to get the laugh:joker: . The problem I had was always wearing the make-up in public during the movie. I wanted to see the Joker with white face, not skin toned. But that wasn't Nicholson's fault. I also thought that he should have been a little skinnier. In the comics, the Joker is a tall lanky guy like Jim Carrey's Riddler almost. Nicholson could have exercised or gone on a diet for awhile just to loose a few pounds.

These are just opinions on his appearance. I felt his performance was flawless. It wasn't overdone like some thought. That's just how the Joker was.

[Swordmaster]

well, around the time 89 came out, joker bore a resemblance to Nicholson in DKR

As for David Bowie, even though I think he looks right for the Joker, the fact remains that he was born in '47, which means he's 58 years old!

That's way too much.

How about Denis Leary? If you have seen "Judgment Night", then you know he can play an evil psychopath - and as a bonus, he has a background in sick, twisted comedy. plus, I think that he looks the part.

[General_Grievous]

James Marsters is a bit too young in my opinion, and not tall enough or has the physical look to pull it off. He'd be good, but not the best choice.

[Qui Gon Ducard]

No. Dafoe.

Buddy it aint gonna happen.....................

I agree. He is slightly too old for the role, and is known as the Green Goblin to many, so people uneducated in the new Batman films would think "What is the Green Goblin doing in a Batman film?!"

[Brucewayne777]

I had posted on the other Joker casting thread, that I had heard about Marsters being up for the role, and that I liked that casting. Glad to see some people agree.
And, as far as how he should play it: Joker is the Hannibal Lecture of the comic world. He should be dressed nice, like he was in the 40's and 50's, with the black suit with pinstripes. And it should be ironic that he looks like a clown, because he is serious and definately not funny.:joker:

[Qui Gon Ducard]

Trenchcoat, trenchcoat, trenchcoat!......by the way Ithink he should wear a trenchcoat:joker:

[Brucewayne777]

Yeah. A long black coat, and black hat would really set off that bright white skin. He would actually be scary for a change.

Just like we have never seen a true addapation of Bats, we've also never seen Joker as he was intended.:joker:

[Qui Gon Ducard]

Killing Joke style..................

[P. Cushing]

I agree. He is slightly too old for the role, and is known as the Green Goblin to many, so people uneducated in the new Batman films would think "What is the Green Goblin doing in a Batman film?!"
Yes that'd make a lot of sense............ If he was wearing a armoured green bodysuit, a goblin mask and going around on a glider! Do you seriously think they'd think "Uuuuh..... why does da Green Goblin not wearing his mask and why is his face white, his lips red, his hair green and he wearing purple and yellow suit? why does he calling himself da joker? IT MAKE NO SENZZZ!!"
They are not that dumb! Did the people who saw Catwoman ask why Storm has shorter hair, had lost her powers and was now wearing a clown stripper outfit?

[super scar]

Yeah. A long black coat, and black hat would really set off that bright white skin. He would actually be scary for a change.

There is one scene (very brief) in B89 where Jack is about to hand over a sandwich full of money to Eckheart and he's leaning on a car. Every time I see that pose, the way his hat is covering half of his face and the long black coat, just makes me wish they had used it after his accident.

[darknight7]

I don't know about BLACK...maybe a REALLY REALLY DARK purple...so that in the dark scenes...it almost looked black but had a purple tinge to it. OR!!! even a BLACK suit with purple pin stripes would be cool. BUT NOT ALLLLLL Black....:)

:up: :up: :up: I concur. I have always thought he looked more dangerous/crazy there than any other time.

[Brucewayne777]

No doubt. And as far as someone like Dafoe playing Joker. Man, he looks the part. But I think everyone involved wants to go with a much younger part. Ray Liotta was originally the one who was going to play the Joker in Sam Hamm's original script. Not Jack. And Joker should be at least as young as Bats. If not younger. They want to go against the original films. Man, I even thought of James Marsters as too old.:joker:

[Riven]

I think the Joker looks way cooler in black or a darker suit than in purple. It worked in B89 cause it was pretty dark purple, but I still prefer something different.

Nicholson looked awesome in that "the pen is mightier than the sword" scene.

[DOO BEE]

nah i think masters still, and i love the long black trench coat but do yas think i top hat or the old gangster hat, but yeah i'd love it if he was dressed like when he gave the cash to eckheart i want the joker to be dark and serious with the slight side of being insane as well, his character should be like in "Gangster No.1" played by paul bettany the bloke in first knights tale and wimbeldon, any whoo his character in Gangter No.1 was insane and the charcter hacked everybody up and enjoyed hearing the victims yell of pain and agony, plus the charcter always got undressed to this whity tighties and singlet then killed the victim, now that character was insane, so yeah check the movie out and see what you think. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh base joker around Alex from A Clockwork Orange, that movie was mad, so get joke to be like him oh ho i will love that, just the personality though not the visual stuff, so yeah thats what i think, what about you????

It's not a "negative response", it's not "your" thread, and I didn't "blurt" out anything. I simply happen to disagree with your opinion, the reason being that I consider many other actors to be preferrable for the role, and that I have never considered The Joker to be either Hispanic or physically powerful. I'll happily admit that the fellow is a fine actor, but this smacks of a "flavour of the month" bias.

[Maxwell Smart]

I'll happily admit that the fellow is a fine actor, but this smacks of a "flavour of the month" bias.

First of all, I recognize people have different opinions. But I find it insulting when people don't take the time to explain their opinions.

This is not a flavor of the month choice at all. Del Toro is a very, very solid actor with a distinct personality. Which is what is needed for a role like The Joker, because whoever plays him needs to have a definite PRESENSE(which I think Del Toro does). I am suggesting him for the role because I think that his performance in "Sin City" suggests he could play that kind of role. It really made me picture him as "The Joker".

And why does it matter if the actor who plays "The Joker" is Hispanic? What do you think, he is going to go around saying "ay essay Bat hombre me and my bro chewey going to **** you up mang!"? Del Toro is an ACTOR, and can play someone outside his ethnicity easily. I didn't detect an accent from him in "Sin City" AT ALL.

I'm guessing you think a Hispanic actor can't play "The Joker" because the character has white skin. That is completely devoid of logic when you consider the fact that ANY actor who plays him will be under makeup and prostetics anyway. Del Toro's skin can be easily made bone white, he isn't that dark anyway.

And besides? Who says that the character can't be Hispanic anyway? The Joker's ethnicity has never been specified, and it has jack to do with his character. His skin was stained white, his hair green, and his eyes although green could just as easily have been turned that color by the chemicals as his hair and skin. Besides, not all Latin people are dark. Lots of Spaniards have blonde hair and green eyes.

[HarleyLover]

A fine choice. When I think about who could do a particular character justice, it's important not to think stereotypically. If you're thinking of candidates for Batman, you've got to think of someone who can really bring the intensity. Michael Keaton and Christian Bale, while being completely different physically and in their nuances as actors, both have shown that "something" that you need to pull off Batman.

For the Joker, I wouldn't go straight for only tall, lanky men with large noses. Just like I wouldn't go for only men with jet black hair and the body of a Greek God for Batman.

There are a bunch of guys I'd like to see as the Joker, most of them are actors with a sort of oddball sensibility, they don't all look exactly like how the Joker looks on the page, but they've got that "something."

Crispin Glover, Johnny Depp, Justin Theroux, Robert Downey Jr, to name a few.

[DDRSkata]

I'm going to disagree. Physically and in terms of acting ability, he'd do well. But you can still hear his accent in his voice, even if barely, and that kind of took me out of Sin City a little and would definitely do the same for Batman.

[Maxwell Smart]

His accent isn't there at all. It just isn't. (In Sin City)

Hes a fine actor, and he did a great gritty voice for Sin City, his voice in Fear and Loathing didn't sound Spanish at all either.

EDIT: I would have expected you to back me up after your Robin thread..Its a two-way street. ;)

[BatmanRules33]

oh God, Benicio Del Toro, OH God.......i dont think i have to explain myself this time for why i dont think he'd be joker AT ALL.

[Matis17]

I could deffinitely get behind this. Sin City really proved to me that he could do the character justice.

[Maxwell Smart]

oh God, Benicio Del Toro, OH God.......i dont think i have to explain myself this time for why i dont think he'd be joker AT ALL.

No..you do. If you think its because he is Hispanic, I've already provided a strong argument against that.

If thats not it..than what?

[BatmanRules33]

wow, after seeing him in all his movies, hes just too damn serious of a guy to be joker. i mean, everyone accepted nicholson cuz hes known for his "wackiness", thats why hes called "jack the wack". but this guy? hes soo weeeird. not in a funny, joking way, hes a creep! joker doesnt look like a creep, well he does in a way, but not in the creepy way del toro has,he has a veery serious creepiness about him that just doesnt fit with a joker. and im srry about sayin this, but even if he could cover up his accent well, he still LOOKS hispanic and he will always look hispanic cuz he IS hispanic and everyone knows that, even though there isnt a comic that SAYS he american, there isnt a comic that has him REMOTLY looking hispoanic, therefore everyone knows how joker should look, and trust me, its not hispanic. im not a racist, but i just wouldnt want a hispanic joker cuz it just wouldnt look riught, especially with del toro. i heavily heavily heavily doubt Nolan would ever ever ever even THINK about using del toro, heck, we dont even know if he will use joker in the next bat film, so why say anything about it?

JESUS CHRIST.

I mean God if you had posted a half-respectable argument..but that was one of the biggest blocks of drivel I've ever seen. I'd be embarassed to post **** like that.

Where do I even begin?

First, Benicio Del Toro can't be wacky? I don't think he was exactly the pinnacle of seriousness in Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas. And I must ask, have you actually seen Sin City? You really should if you haven't. I don't see how you can watch the "Car ride scene" with him and Clive Owen(you all know the one) and not think he can be both creepy and funny at the same time quite well.

And how does he "LOOK hispanic"? What does a hispanic look like? A hispanic can be black, white, brown. They can have blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes etc. From the way Del Toro "looks" you could just as easily call him Greek, or Lebanese, or even Irish or Welsh. Have you never heard of Dark Irish? George Clooney is a dark-skinned Irishmen. Many Welsh people(like Catherine Zeta-Jones) are known for looking very mediterranean. So its rather silly to say someone of a certain ethnicity is going to always look a certain way. I am Welsh, Scots-Irish, and a smittering Native American, and I've been mistaken for Italian I can't even tell you how many times.

So even if it was determined that The Joker is of Northern European ancestry(which it never has been), he still would not necessarily be light-skinned. And here is the BIG POINT against your argument..

IT DOESN'T ****ING MATTER WHETHER HE IS WHITE OR BROWN-SKINNED ANYWAY BECAUSE HIS SKIN IS STAINED BONE-WHITE FROM CHEMICALS.

Any actor who plays The Joker would go under heavy make-up and prostetics. Did you know the guy who played The Joker in the 60s television show was a Cuban? You see, make-up covers up things, including skin color.

Most people aren't as ignorant as yourself, so no they won't care if hes Hispanic(so it doesn't matter that everyone "knows he is Hispanic").

And if you aren't racist, why did you feel the need to say you weren't?

[Postman]

I think he's saying he has hispanic features, but if he can't get past that its his loss. If Bececio is cast I don't see how anyone could complain. He's one of the best actors around. He could bring a creepy evil Joker alive and at the same time make him funny w/o being camp. I don't see how anyone could have a problem with Del Toro I guess if they can't get past his race which imo is sad.

[GL-Corps#28]

The thing with Joker is, there are actually probably abround 15 to 20 actors who could do an amazing job with the role, it's just a matter of choosing one.

Del Toro is a fine choice for Joker. I've also heard him suggested for Bane, based on the assumption that some kind of technology would be used to incorporate a freakishly muscular body.

[Quietstorm]

I didn't hear his accent AT ALL in Sin City. If you told those people in the theater(around my way) that he is latin, they wouldn't have never guessed it.

[BatmanRules33]

well, we all have opinons, and I SAY that del toro would NOT be a good joker, just cant picture him. and alot of ppl all over the world know joker as a white american looking normal guy, not some hispanic, heavy irish, indian, itailian, blah blah blah you get the point, now i dont neccassarily have anything to back up my argument that he would be a bad joker, but neither can anyone have a good argument abouit whether he'd be a good joker either, since he hasnt played joker at all, so really it comes down to the matter of OPINION, and MY opinon is that he would suck as joker, i just cannot imagine him as joker for reason beyond me, so thats all im gonna say for the rest of this thread if i can help it.

[Nightwing5]

The thing with Joker is, there are actually probably abround 15 to 20 actors who could do an amazing job with the role, it's just a matter of choosing one.

There are about 13 people that get thrown around:

1.Johnny Depp
2.Benicio Del Toro
3.Adrien Brody
4.Jude Law
5.Christopher Eccleston
6.Paul Bettany
7.Tim Roth
8.Justin Theroux
9.Crispin Glover
10.Steve Buscemi
11.John Turturro
12.Lachy Hulme
13.Willem Dafoe

I do no support all of them, but there are a few on there I think could be good.

[BatmanRules33]

william defoe would most likely not be eligible for a joker part, cuz he was already a villian in another big comic book movie, i doubt they would use him again in another CB movie in the same way almost. i dont think they would want to connect him with spiderman, but he plays awsome villian though! what im confused about is jude law (?),whats he doing on there, lol?

Benicio Del Toro could play Joker I saw him in The Funeral co starting Christopher Walken, Del Toro's peformance was short but good I saw in Blow I think and Snatch as well he's good actor.

I didn't say he didn't have any good roles. He doesn't have any roles that suggest he could play that particular type of role(The Joker).

Del Toro does.

Del Toro does.

I believe his role in Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction is ample enough to suggest that Tim Roth can indeed do dark characters, he would be a good choice in my opinion, but at this stage, all's we can do is speculate.

Cesar Romero for The Joker. I know he's dead, but if Sky Captain can bring back a dead actor, so can the Batman franchise.

Nice of you to have to resort to personal attacks...

...you asked to give an example of a movie where it shows Roth can play the Joker and I named plenty. Just because YOU (and only you) don't think any of those movies show he can play the Joker doesn't make it so. You'd be more of a man if you actually watch those movies with an open mind and try to picture him as the Joker instead of just dismissing ANY movie he's EVER been in without even giving a 2nd though.

As far as Del Torro being the Joker...I wouldn't have anything against it, but Roth is still one of my faves.

[General_Grievous]

Tim Roth is a great contender.

Hell why not! Make it so!!

If we have to go for a CGI recreate of a dead actor, I'd rather it was Basil Rathbone or Jeremy Brett than Ceasar Romero.

It's almost a shame that Gary Oldman is playing Gordon...I think he would have made a marvelously crazed Joker!

But I'm glad he's Gordon.

I do like the idea of Del Toro or Daniel Day Lewis (although Lewis would never do it).

[Dark Knight]

i want to see Del Toro be the ideal version of Bane actually. All he has to do is bulk up! He has the acting chops, is Latin....and is tall enough. Plus he has experience doing excellent fighting scenes and trained for the movie The Hunted!

Yeah, Oldman had been my first choice for Joker up to the point he was cast as Gordon.

Daniel Day-Lewis would be awesome as Sinister, but Ican't really see any Batman vilians that fit him.

i'd rather Conrad Veidt

Hell yeah!!

The ideal bane? He's the same height as Bale and no way could he get much bigger than him muscle-wise. It defies logic to envision him as the ideal Bane, at least on a physical level. In what way would he be ideal for the character other than just as a voice?
